Duncan Hine's White Chocolate Raspberry Frostings Creation flavo flave

Drum rolllll, Puhlease!

                                                                       yeah, that's it.

I'm actually on the fence about this one.

I'm not quite sure that the flava title matches the flava.

One thing I am definitely disappointed in is the CoLoR! 

The package has a somewhat brighter tone to it,

and the actual CoLoR is a muddied Lavendar Pink.

Enough to turn me off to buying it another time,

simply for the fact that I could sub with a White/VaniLLa frosting, RaSpBeRRy flavoring,

and my own foOd CoLoRing to get a better CoLor.

Meh.

I used these with a White Cake and a Butter Chocolate Cake.

You're just going to have to go on your own personal preference for either White or Chocolate cake, because either one is perfect for this frosting.

I would recommend trying to this, at least once, and form you're own opinion.

And so we continue, pEEps, on the CupCake Whisperer's FlaVa Train adventure...

up next is Mocha

Duncan Hines ChoCoLate MarShMaLLow frosting..

Here we are with another flavored segment from Duncan Hines.
The Chocolate Marshmallow.

It's a really soft chocolate flavor.

I was expecting a more Marshymallow flavor,
or even a more Vanilla flavor. 

To me it tastes like the regular chocolate from the can, just lighter. 

It is ExCeLLenT on the White cake.  

It was only so so on the Orange cake. 

The Orange cake itself was kind of bland, 

so I think that may have had something to do with.

I used 1 box of White and 1 box of Orange cake mix.
I used 1 can of Starter Frosting and 1 packet of Chocolate Marshmallow flavor.

It's a good basic ChoCoLaTe frosting that will go on any flavor of Cake.
Next up is the White Chocolate Raspberry  and the Cherry Vanilla.
It's already on the grocery list!

Chocolate Chocolate Mint CupCaKes

Spring Parties today!
New treat today!
YuMMiness today!

Here's another flavor from the
Duncan Hines frosting extravaganza of GoOdies!

The Mint Chocolate.

We paired it with Devil's FooD cake.

 HeLLa CupCakes!

I used:
2 boxes of Cake Mix,
2 cans of Frosting
2 packets of Flavor mix
and added Mint Extract for an extra bit of kick.


Add Mint Extract 1/4 tsp at a time, mix well, and then TasTe TesT.
Mint can get overwhelming pretty quick.
Remember, flavors need a few minutes to meLLow, too.

such Deliciousness! 

think Junior Mints, or Girl Scout Thin Mints.

 Now you see it....

Now you don't!

Two out of Two for the Duncan Hines Flavor Creations!

The only excuse you need is "cause I wanna"....

Duncan Hines Frostings Creations ~ Orange Creme

 

 Every year The Blu Man creates a cake for his Day of Birth Celebratories.

He shares a birthday with Dr. Seuss, yes, yes he does,

so usually for his class, we would make 

White cake cupcakes with Blue Colored Vanilla Frosting.

{You know, Thing 1 & Thing 2}

This year he wanted
 half White cake and Half Chocolate
with Orange Frosting.

He was elated.

I wasn't.

All I could think was that no one would eat them.

How wrong I was.

Growing up, and occasionally still, 

I will find the Orange flavored canned frosting.

I like it. I always have.

Of course when I went shopping, 

they didn't.have it in stock,

BUT~

they did have this awesome new stuff!

Duncan Hines has a new line called the Frostings Creations

and I am just SuperKala over this.

They hawk a "frosting starter" 

which is just Vanilla/White Frosting

then you've got Heaven to choose from.

You've got to check out these Flavors!

Make your cupcakes....

 

Using a Devils Food cake mix,

and a White cake mix,

Make the CupCakes per instructions on box.

I used the Egg White recipe for the White Cake.

Fill CupCake PaPers with a little less than half

of one flavor, and then top off with other flavor.

Bake and CooL completely.

Ready to Frost?

 Just mix 1 packet to 1 can 

and instantly jazz up any flavor cake.

We were making a lot of Cupcakes, so we used  4 boxes of cake mix.

I used 2 cans of the Frosting with the 2 packets

and honestly, next time, I would add a 3rd

for more flavor kick.

Only decide this AFTER doing the 1:1.

{flavors like Raspberry can get overwhelming pretty quick}

We used the Orange Creme.

I couldn't stop eating it.

Apparently,
The Classmates couldn't either.
This is the first time EvEr,
not only did EvEry kid take a cupcake,
EvEry one oohed, aahed, and ate it
while simultaneously saying how good it was.
EvEry bite, and cupcake.

well done, Blu!

 I can't wait to go grocery shopping next week

and pick up a couple more of these

most especially the:

* Chocolate Marshmallow

*White Chocolate Raspberry

Maybe Chocolate Marshmallow on a Red Velvet cake or German Chocolate
and a Chocolate Fudge cake withe the White Chocolate Raspberry.

excuse Me, while I go crank up Le Oooh~ven!
